Shark Behavior and Aggregation Study

The video captures unique footage of sharks, including tiger and sandbar sharks, using cameras deployed offshore. It provides a shark's eye view of their interactions with coral reefs and other marine life. The footage reveals social behaviors and aggregation dynamics of various shark species, offering insights into their daily lives and environments.

What was the primary purpose of deploying video cameras on sharks?

• To track their migration patterns

• Sandbar shark

• Galapagos shark

• Hammerhead shark

• Tiger shark

What behavior did the smaller reef fishes exhibit when approached by the Sandbar shark?

• They hid in holes and ledges

• They followed the shark

• They swam away quickly

• They attacked the shark

How did the larger reef fishes react to the Sandbar shark?
